About Darius R

Darius R is a side scrolling space shooter exclusive to Japan for the Game Boy Advance. The player controls the Silverhawk spacecraft against an aquatic themed alien threat.

A defining system allows progression through branching stage paths, which directly influences the narrative outcome. After completing stages in the primary campaign, they become available for individual replay in a separate mode.
